Will it blow????
Ok, I'm bored. Just wanted to see what everyone's thoughts are. Maybe start a gambling pool on the side, just for chits and giggles.
I'm planning on racing at Bandimere next weekend for Truck Fest. Going to run my 250/200 hybrids, and open them up to see if I can run at least low 14's (should be around 450 rwhp).
To date, I still haven't finished my tuning. So I'm planning on trying to button that up, and hit the dyno for some fine tuning on the higher HP tunes, then run it at Bandimere to see the final results...... all within a week.
So the question is, will I blow my engine or not? Remember, I'm running stock PMR's, no head studs, no springs, nothing special. Just a fuel system, stock HPOP, 38r turbo..... and 250/200 hybrids
Have fun with this thread, boys and girls

I think you will be fine.
About the worst thing you could do is pop a head gasket, but at 6500' your not pushing a lot of boost...
You know how to play with the timing...
I ran 238/100's and PMR's for a long time and didnt hurt the rods.
Mike ran 400/400 B codes for well over 2 years before it finally popped.

My vote is this: You are likely married, and need an excuse as to why your engine needs to be rebuilt, and are therefore going to try your best to get the engine to blow. You've already got your "Six Million Dollar Man" speech prepared for the wife stating that "if needs to be rebuilt, we can build it Better, Stronger, Faster." It's all a justification for spending the money on that versus a kitchen remodel.
So, do yourself a favor...you better delete this thread so that proof of the premeditated murder of your engine is nowhere to be seen.
As for the genius of your plan...well, no one can blame you. Best of luck on your plan!
